iPhone 7 8 X Lightning Adapter Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter

My stock car stereo does not have Bluetooth but it does have an auxiliary audio jack which I've been using for a long time, but I've become annoyed with all the cables cluttering up the front passenger area of my car and wanted to switch to a Bluetooth connection. Most of the stock Bluetooth connections I've heard in other cars were mediocre and didn't transmit very clear sound. This little device sounds fantastic with no real difference in the audio quality from direct tethering. That is the main thing I was looking for and it really shines in that regard. The battery actually lasts a long time also. I usually keep it plugged in all the time but I recently took a long road trip and had a GPS plugged in, so it was unplugged for the duration of the 11 hour drive and did not run out of power. That's another big plus.There are a few minor annoyances though. When starting your car it doesn't automatically turn on and pair with your device. You have to press the power button and hold it down for 3 seconds for it to turn on/pair. My aux jack is under the dash on the passenger side so it's annoying reaching over to pair it every time I start the car. Also, when I turn off the car it doesn't automatically turn off. So you have to reach over and hold down the power button again for about 5 seconds to shut it off. I think though that if you just unpair your phone it eventually shuts off on its own? In either case, it would be nice if it automatically turned on/off with your car.As it's pairing, there's about 7 seconds of static/unclear music, but then it's crystal clear once the pairing is complete. It also has a flashing blue light that pulses in sequences of 3 flashes when its on and transmitting. I can see this being a little distracting when driving at night and the interior cabin is dark.I tried making a voice call using it last night for the fist time and the phone rang through my car's speakers but once the call was answered it stopped transmitting through the speakers, so I'm not sure why that happened. But I rarely make calls while I'm driving so that's not a big issue for me. Other than those things it's an awesome device and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again if I needed to, and I would buy it as a gift also.

I bought this for my car instead of installing a new expensive bluetooth stereo that would work with my phone. I think its a great piece of hardware for exactly that purpose, and I'm not sure why I didn't buy one sooner! I use this to play Spotify from my phone via my RAV4 aux input, and it works fine. It came with the little 3.5mm adapter to plug right in, and pairing was simple. Occasionally I get a little weird static when first using it, so my process is usually to hold the the button to turn it on, check my phone to see that it paired and start some music, *then* plug the adapter to the aux input. For some reason it likes to turn on before you plug it in.Pros:- easily pairs with my phone (Android/Nexus 5), but I have not tried pairing it with multiple devices at the same time- I use it to play Spotify from my phone, and the hardware buttons play/pause/forward/back as you expect. Great when you want to pause or skip a song without finding your phone- holds its charge; I rarely charge it and I've used it for 5 hours straight without charging. I also just leave it in the car without being used for weeks and it doesn't seem to drainCons:- I don't like the indicator lights. In a dark car its quite distracting to see a blinking blue light. My aux input is in the center console, so I just turn the device upside down so I can't see it directly.- I can't tell when I turn it off. You sort of hold the button down and then hope the lights are off. If its bright its hard to see.- Not a huge problem because this isn't very expensive, but it doesn't seem very sturdy. I lightly fight with the charging port, but that could be my cable.

While it works, this thing is annoying. You have to reconnect every time you get back in the car. If you need to make a phone call, you have to disconnect from bluetooth in order to hear. Don't forget to push the power button every time you get in/out of the vehicle. The benefit of Bluetooth is negated by how much you have to touch this and your phone. It works, but not worth the trouble.

Bluetooth function works great. However, when making a calls there's a lof of feedback thus making bluetooh calls over your stereo speakers unusuable. Streaming audio works fine though.

Not reconnecting well when the car is started but does work as listed.

I appreciate that the product comes as shown. I find it works better for me with a 4ft aux. cable rather than the aux.plug it comes with, but that is because my car has the aux plug in a weird spot. (It's in the center compartment, under the armrest.) All in all a great product to use with my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone. All buttons work with my phone for calls and as a remote when I use my phone as a music source.

works but not that easy when car is bouncing around.

somewhat hard to turn it on
